Jiang Li successfully motivated Jiang Yi, and he was more enthusiastic about cutting everyone's hair than before.
Jiang Yi spent a total of two hours cutting hair for ten people.
This time all ten people were willing to pay, and Jiang Yi earned one dollar a day.
This is much easier than working on a construction site, and you can make money much faster.
Jiang Yi cleaned up the loose hair outside, and his steps were floating when he walked.
"Don't be so proud. Come eat quickly. After eating, read and do your homework."
Jiang Li didn't want to pour cold water on him, but seeing that this guy was in high spirits now, if he felt that hairdressing had more prospects than studying and was unwilling to study, then it would be a real loss.
"Hey, I'll wash my hands and come right back."
Jiang Yi washed the broken hair off his hands, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face when he sat down to eat.
"Don't just focus on cutting people's hair. Don't fall behind in your studies. Do you really think a craftsman can make a lot of money? Look at your uncle. I know as much as you do, but what's become of him now?"
Zhang Guocai spoke out, and Jiang Yi stared at his uncle for a long time.
Worn clothes and pants, old cloth shoes with exposed toes, and rough, calloused hands.
It seemed that craftsmen really had no future, but he earned more than two yuan in two days. This money was real, and Jiang Yi couldn't help but feel happy.
“That’s because we know different things.”
Jiang Yi wanted to retort, but his uncle gave him a stern look.
"You've been making some money recently because of good business. On the one hand, you've invested your time, and on the other hand, people need haircuts now. But what about after a while? Everyone in the village has had their hair cut, and it doesn't grow back that fast. Who will come to you then?"
His sister's words immediately poured a bucket of cold water on Jiang Yi, and he woke up instantly.
"Then I'll only spend one hour every day cutting hair. This way, I won't have to waste time studying, and I can still make money every day. Is this okay, sister?"
"Just arrange your time well and don't put the cart before the horse."
Jiang Li taught his younger brother how to cut hair just to help him master the skill and earn some pocket money. If he became completely addicted to it, it would not be worth it.
"Sister, uncle, I understand. Thank you for teaching me these principles."
Jiang Yi bowed to each of them.
"Alright, alright, we're all family, why are we doing all this nonsense?"
Zhang Guocai is a rough man. He speaks and acts cleanly and decisively and never likes to do anything empty.
Jiang Yi smiled embarrassedly and quickly served everyone food.
On the table was a plate of stir-fried pork with chili peppers, some stir-fried greens, and a bowl of egg and meat soup.
Jiang Li has been eating the yellow egg and meat soup for several days in a row. If it weren't for the children, she would have vomited it out long ago.
Jiang Yi ate the fried pork with chili peppers with gusto, while Jiang Li kept swallowing his saliva.
"Eat if you want to, don't just look at it."
Zhang Guocai picked up a piece of meat and chili peppers from Jiang Li's bowl with chopsticks. Jiang Li, whose mouth had long been tasteless, could no longer restrain himself and ate several mouthfuls of rice with the chili peppers.
Before she traveled through the book, she was from Hu Province and loved spicy food every day.
When I first came here, I ate wild vegetable flour dumplings every day, and the dishes still had a bit of salt in them.
Later, during the confinement period, I ate confinement meals every day. It was just very simple boiled water with meat and eggs added to the soup. There was no seasoning except salt.
At first I thought it was quite bland, the taste was simple but acceptable.
It took a long time and Jiang Li felt numb all over.
"Sister, are these meat and peppers delicious?"
In fact, Jiang Yi rarely eats such delicious food. Life at home has improved a lot since his uncle came.
How could he know that these things were bought by his sister. Jiang Li bought a lot of things at the black market last time, and he stocked up on eggs and meat.
“It’s delicious.”
"Do you still want it?"
Jiang Li stopped talking. Aunt Yao had told her that it was best to eat light food while breastfeeding, as it would be better for the baby.
Jiang Li didn’t know what was good about it, but he knew that the adults were feeling very uncomfortable.
"Sister, let me pick up some food for you. You've lost weight recently. If you don't eat chili peppers, you won't have a good appetite. Eating a little can stimulate your appetite."
Jiang Yi was busy picking up food for his sister like a little adult.
Jiang Li didn't want to eat it at first, but in the end he couldn't resist the temptation and ate bite after bite.
Jiang Li had the most comfortable dinner since he came here.
She covered her belly and burped contentedly.
"Look, you always forced yourself before, always refusing to eat this or that. Now you know how delicious chili peppers are, right?"
The uncle just wants his niece to eat more and gain some weight.
Looking at her small body, which weighed only 90 pounds after giving birth, she has become thinner and thinner in recent times, as if the only thing she gained during her pregnancy was her belly.
After dinner, Jiang Yi cleaned up the dishes, wiped them clean, went to the table and started doing his homework.
He had just taken out his textbook and was about to do his homework when the table suddenly collapsed.
Zhang Guocai and Jiang Li came out immediately to check the situation. Jiang Yi was scared to death. His little face turned pale and he kept waving his hands to explain.
"It wasn't me, it wasn't me. The table fell apart on its own. I didn't do anything wrong."
Jiang Li took a step forward to check the situation. Jiang Yi was so scared that he squatted on the ground with his hands on his head.
"Sister, I was wrong. You can hit me if you want, but please don't hit me on the head."
Jiang Yi felt that he was a useless waste because he could even break the table apart while doing his homework. He deserved to be beaten to death by his sister.
"Who said I was going to hit you? You just scare yourself."
Jiang Li patted him on the head gently, and Jiang Yi looked up in confusion.
"Sister, you really won't hit me?"
Jiang Li looked down and saw his red eyes, so she rubbed his furry little head again.
"You didn't do anything wrong, why would I hit you? Besides, you're already this old, even if you did something wrong, I have no reason to hit you."
Jiang Li stretched out a hand, Jiang Yi took his sister's hand and stood up with trembling body.
When his parents were still alive, his sister would sometimes beat him. Now that his parents are gone, his sister has a bad temper and takes it out on him if something doesn't go her way.
Jiang Yi likes his sister very much, but is also afraid of her.
"You must have beaten him often."
Uncle came in with tools and some pieces of wood from outside. He looked at Jiang Li and said with certainty.
Jiang Li didn't know how to answer. The original owner did beat her brother often, but she didn't.
"Uncle, it's not what you think. Sometimes when I do something wrong, my sister will teach me a lesson. They say an elder sister is like a mother, and I think this is as it should be."
She was clearly beaten, and beaten badly. Jiang Yi still spoke up for her before his sister did. Jiang Li felt bad after hearing this. This brother is too good, isn't he?
